Ah Heather...I am so sorry about your miscarriage. It sounds like you are busy, but also that you are feeling "down". A miscarriage will do that to you. I had a miscarriage 19 years ago and it was tough for a little while. I was newly married, in college, working full time. My grades that semester were awful because once I was put on bed rest, I basically quit school. I showed up for finals, but didn't do much good. And, it was almost Christmas. I finally just made a decision to keep myself busy and not dwell on it. I went back to school and work. Perhaps if you just make the decision to finish these shows, by the time you get them closed you will be back on your feet. If you decide to take a break, you will know that you at least gave it a try and your not up to it right now. There is no pressure. This is your business. I wish you the best and I say a little prayer for you right now.

Good night.

Sounds like you have had a lot going on! I sometimes get feeling this way too. I am a Director on top of that. The thing is you just have to keep on moving onward and upward. And you will probably feel better getting out and doing the show. It always does for me! I have been a Con for 5 1/2 years, and I think alot of us feel this way sometimes. Just don't ever give up, and it will pay off in the long run.

I hope this helps!

Heather, I am so sorry for your loss ~ and it is completely understandable to be down, and not feeling like doing much. I struggled with similar feelings after one of my best friends died of cancer last New Years. Nothing else just seemed important enough to warrant my attention. I did let a couple shows fall through the cracks during that time - but for the most part, once I did contact my hosts, and explain to them what had kept me from keeping in touch - they were all very understanding. In the long run (and in hindsight) the best thing for me was to get out again with people and be busy. I didn't feel like it, but I did it - and now, I am glad I did.

And, Dec. 8 is still far enough away that, with your host, you can put together a great show!

Please be kind to yourself. It is TOUGH to get through a miscarriage. You need time to feel however you want to feel.
